Abstract
A uniquely configured, constructed photographic light diffuser device for association with a photographic light source, which is versatile in that it is easily and releasably associated with variously configured light sources used in the photographic field, wherein the device is made up of articulated panel segments, the segments having different light reflecting, or diffusing qualities, wherein the diffusing member is easily and releasably associated with the light directing device so as to be able to make up a myriad of difference selected, polygonal configurations to vary lighting patterns and light intensity on photographic objects. The device is light weight and collapsible for ease of carrying and is particularly applicable to the photography field wherein it is desired to achieve and attain various lighting affects.
Claims14
A photographic light diffusing device and the like comprising the combination:
- a mounting member adapted for cooperative and releasable association with a light source;
- a plurality of support members releasably supported from said mounting member;
- and
- at least one segment panel adapted for releasable, supported engagement with said support members and said mounting member, said segment panel in the supported state forming selected polygonal configurations to direct and alter light emitting from a light source with which said device is utilized.
A photographic light diffusing and directing device comprising the combination:
- a mounting member of plate form adapted for cooperative and releasable association with the housing of a photographic light source;
- a retaining member positioned in each corner of said plate-like mounting member and having a receiving bore to receive a supporting member in radial disposition to said plate-like mounting member;
- a rod-like supporting member disposed in each retaining member and extending outwardly from the said mounting member;
- a light diffusing member comprising an opaque front panel and side panels of truncated, trapezoidal configuration with grommeted apertures at each of the corners thereof, the diffusing member being adapted for releasable association with said outwardly supported supporting members and the small side of said trapezoidal shaped segments being adapted for association with said mounting member;
- and
- said light diffuser member in the supported state forming selected polygonal configurations to direct and alter light emitting from a light source with which the device is utilized.
A photographic light diffusing and directing device comprising the combination:
- a mounting member adapted for cooperative and releasable association with a light source;
- a plurality of support members radially and releasably supported from said mounting member;
- and
- a light diffuser member adapted for releasable and supported engagement with said support members and said mounting member, said light diffusing member defining an enclosing chamber encompassing said light source and adapted to direct and alter light emitting from said light source with which said device is utilized.
